The 21-year old released a statement through Colorado State announcing his decision.

“After a lot of thought, I have decided to put my name into the NBA draft and begin my professional career. I want to thank coach (Larry) Eustachy and his staff for the opportunity to continue my college career at Colorado State, and for their support over the past five months. This was a very difficult decision, but after speaking with my family, coach (John) Lucas, and coach Eustachy, I knew that I had their support to make what I felt was the best decision for me at this point in time.”
